BunniLeigh Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Hi all been away for a little while good to be back. Here is most probably a silly question, but one that is really bugging me. When i reinstalled win7 back on my main pc, i left my wired internet connection in.. thing is im sure its running off the wireless!!! How can i tell... im sure that its such a daft question but any help would be appriecated.:confused: Quote
Jelly Bean Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Dissconnect the cable and connect via wireless? Then open a web page are you veiwing your home page? Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
BunniLeigh Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 lolol thanks JellyBean... i didnt think of that.. see said im daft lol.. will give it a try :) Quote
KenB Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 If you look in the bottom right hand corner of the screen .... If there is an icon showing 2 monitors - you are using wireless.

Jelly Bean Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 KenB? I am confused? I have the two monitors but I am running wired? Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................

KenB Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Hi J-B I have the two monitors but I am running wired? My Desktop is wired and I get no monitors ?? I have just tried my laptop wireless and connected an ethernet cable .. The monitor icon remains. Hover the mouse over the icon: With both connected I get 2 "Currently connected to ..." Strange ????
